He is second in sales only to Elvis Presley on RCA Records, has earned 39 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot Country Charts and was second African American to have been inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

Charley Pride, one of the few African-American country musicians to have considerable success in the country music industry, is coming to Sault Ste. Marie to perform in Kewadin Casinos DreamMakers Theater on October 17 at 7 p.m.

Pride is a timeless everyman, revered by his musical peers and adored by countless millions of fans around the globe. His golden baritone voice has transcended race and spanned the generations. Between 1969, when he first hit #1 on the singles chart with “All I Have to Offer You (Is Me)” and 1984, when he commanded the top spot again with “Every Heart Should Have One,” Pride scored more than 36 No. 1 country singles.

Over the past 30 years, Pride has remained one of the Top 20 best-selling country artists of all-time. His incredible legacy includes 36 No. 1 hit singles, over 70 million albums sold, 31 gold and 4 platinum albums — including one quadruple platinum. He has earned countless awards and accolades.

Pride continues his illustrious career with the release of “Comfort of Her Wings” and “Pride and Joy: A Gospel Music Collection” on Music City Records. These albums show that he has not slowed down and proves his voice is as good, if not better than ever. Still touring to sell out crowds, Charley Pride continues to please his audiences.
